Drunk Driving Accidents

Maryland Lawyers Helping Victims of Drunk Driving Accidents

Drunk driving accidents are perhaps the most preventable of any kind of accident. A person consciously chooses to consume alcohol and get behind the wheel of their car. Those left injured in a tragic drunk driving accident will constantly ask - why did this have to happen to me?

Examining Dram Shop Liability

In some circumstances, drunk driving accidents can be partially attributed to establishments that provided alcohol to the offending driver. Referred to as a dram shop liability, bars, lounges or restaurants can be held liable for selling alcohol to a person who is obviously intoxicated and who later causes a serious accident. Through careful investigation, we will determine whether an establishment is partially responsible for the accident and resulting injuries.

All drunk driving accident cases are handled on a contingency basis, meaning you pay no attorney fees unless we are successful.
